Physicians Across Continents

OUR HISTORY

PAC History

Physicians Across Continents (PAC) was founded in 2003 by a passionate group of medical professionals who recognized the critical need for quality healthcare in regions affected by crises. From the very beginning, PAC focused on providing humanitarian medical assistance, prioritizing those in need regardless of their race, religion, or political beliefs.

In its early years, PAC quickly established a reputation for rapid response, deploying teams to deliver emergency care during significant humanitarian crises. This commitment to immediate action allowed us to reach countless individuals in dire situations, laying the groundwork for our future endeavors.

As PAC expanded its operations, we established a presence in various countries, including Kenya, Somalia, Sudan, and Turkey. Each location presented unique challenges, prompting us to adapt our services to meet the specific healthcare needs of local populations.

In 2016, PAC registered as a charity in the UK, which marked a pivotal moment in our history. This official status enabled us to enhance our support structures, allowing for the development of more comprehensive healthcare programs tailored to the needs of vulnerable communities.

Recognizing the importance of sustainability, we shifted our focus toward training and empowering local healthcare professionals. By equipping them with essential skills and knowledge, we aimed to ensure that communities could maintain health improvements long after our teams had left.

Over the years, PAC has responded to numerous emergencies, from natural disasters to armed conflicts, providing critical medical interventions and support. Our teams have performed over 100,000 surgeries and served hundreds of thousands of beneficiaries, showcasing the profound impact we’ve had on global health.

Throughout our journey, we have remained committed to advocacy for health equity, striving to eliminate the barriers that prevent access to care for marginalized populations. Our history reflects a dedication to compassion, resilience, and innovation as we adapt to the ever-changing landscape of global healthcare.

As we look to the future, PAC remains steadfast in its mission to improve healthcare access and outcomes for the most vulnerable. Our legacy is built on the belief that everyone deserves quality medical care, and we continue to work tirelessly to make this a reality for communities around the world.
